On May 16th, we discovered a malware family disguised as a rogue WordPress plugin, with variants capable of credit card skimming and credential theft—some even hosted a live backend for attackers. All Wordfence customers are now protected.

Great to see this being called out.

Not looked at the data in a while, but as a business, and a team, @wordfence has always had integrity.

Can’t say the same about all other players in that space.

This is the system prompt for Apple Intelligence. Turns out Apple's prompt engineers are as clueless about how LLM work as all the others.

Interesting post from Reddit about #WordPress. While the number of absolute WordPress installs are going up, the percentage of the top 1 million websites using WordPress has been declining since 2022.

Matt Mullenweg tweeting through it behind the official @wordpress acct. What gross sexist language to use. An embarrassment to any brand, but gosh golly me if this kind of stuff doesn’t kill his “nice guy” image as a bonus.

Matt’s website. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Also, again WPE is not the entity threatening the community. #WPLies #WordPress

[Takis Bouyouris @takisbig]

Some excellent points from long time #WordPress contributor Andy Fragen that resonate immensely to many of us:

- I’m very disappointed that Matt has chosen to make the Community suffer because of his legal maneuvering with Silver Lake. Let’s be clear, the Community is suffering because of his actions.

- The Community is far and away WordPress’ greatest feature. Unfortunately I think Matt is destroying the Community.

- I’m just one of the many non-compensated, independent Core Contributors. Matt should be encouraging us [...]
